We're dividing 542024 by 48 
We want to divide 542024 by 48.

Step 1:
5 divided by 48 is 0 with a remainder of 5.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 5 to get 5.
Grab the next digit (4) from the dividend, add it to 5, then carry on: 54 / 48

Advancing to step 2:
48 can be fit into 54 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 6.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtracting 48 from 54 leaves us with 6.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 62 / 48

Going ahead to step 3:
48 goes into 62 1 times with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we subtract 48 from 62, we get 14.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 140 / 48

On to step 4:
48 can be fit into 140 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 44.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 112.0
If we subtract 96 from 140, we get 44.
Grab the next digit (2) from the dividend, add it to 44, then carry on: 442 / 48

Going ahead to step 5:
If we divide 442 by 48, we get 9 and a remainder of 10.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1129.0
Subtract 432 from 442 to get 10.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 10, then repeat: 104 / 48

Going ahead to step 6:
104 divided by 48 is 2 with a remainder of 8.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11292.0
The remainder is 8 after subtracting 96 from 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 7:
48 can be fit into 80 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 11292.1
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 48 from 80.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
320 divided by 48 is 6 with a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11292.16
Subtracting 288 from 320 leaves us with 32.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

Step 9:
48 can be fit into 320 6 times, resulting in a remainder of 32.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11292.166
The remainder is 32 after subtracting 288 from 320.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 320, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 11292.166 and a remainder of 0.0032.
